Famista ’89: Kaimaku Ban!!

Famista ’89: Kaimaku Ban!! (roughly “Opening Game Edition”) is a baseball sim from Namco, and marks the first occasion where the Family Stadium game series would officially shorten its name to “Famista” rather than the longer “Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium” brand it had carried previously. As with all previous Family Stadium sequels, Famista maintains the series’ trademark “chibi” look and baseball mechanics while updating the rosters for the current year (in this case, 1989).
